Nice trip

The place had plenty of room. Was clean and street parking was easy, right in front of the place. Quiet area, maybe it is busier during the week. About 30 minutes from Mizzou driving down a open highway most the drive.

Short and sweet

Fascinating history of a beautiful old home. Only here for a night but appealed to our historic interests. Beautiful structures on Capitol Ave - wish they could all be restored. Glad we had the chance to stay.
